Celebrating Mel

Donation protected
The IOD Family lost our beloved, Mel Pearce earlier this year.  Mel raced IODs in the SF Bay for more than 50 years and is pictured below onboard #86 with the boys last Father's Day.  Never shrinking in the face of conditions or competition, Mel was ever-ready with his warm smile and ample provisions.

To honor Mel's memory, the SF Bay IOD Fleet is making a donation to the Regatta Center project at the SFYC.  The Regatta Center will host sailing memories for decades to come and we can't think of a more fitting tribute to Mel's love of family, friends and sailboat racing.

The Fleet has approved a donation of $1000, but the bigger the donation we can make, the bigger the plaque that will hang in the center.

Please help us honor Mel's legacy and build a hearth for racers from near and far.  Danielle Lawson is solely responsible for the withdrawal and delivery or use of funds from this campaign.
